Academy of Best Practices
The Academy of Best Practices has been, and will continue to be, a gathering of engaging, diverse, passionate teachers. If you want to bring math to more people, this event is for you!
The Academy of Best Practices will prepare you to be an advocate in your mathematics department and focus on key topics within your teacher practice:
Each year, the academy staff looks forward to this event; it is a highlight of all the work they do. This is why CPM supports teacher participation by providing travel to and from Seattle (from within the U.S.) as well as room and meals at Seattle University. Participants have the option to purchase graduate credit.
The 5-day New Teacher Institute is designed to help new math teachers develop into future leaders, to aid their professional growth both in the classroom and in the field of education, to increase their resources, and to form a countrywide network of teacher support. This institute is open to math teachers who have been in the education field for five years or less, teaching any mathematics curriculum.

This professional learning is designed for teachers as they begin their implementation of CPM. This series contains multiple components and is grounded in multiple active experiences delivered over the first year. This learning experience will encourage teachers to adjust their instructional practices, expand their content knowledge, and challenge their beliefs about teaching and learning. Teachers and leaders will gain first-hand experience with CPM with emphasis on what they will be teaching. Throughout this series educators will experience the mathematics, consider instructional practices, and learn about the classroom environment necessary for a successful implementation of CPM curriculum resources.
Page 2 of the Professional Learning Progression (PDF) describes all of the components of this learning event and the additional support available. Teachers new to a course, but have previously attended Foundations for Implementation, can choose to engage in the course Content Modules in the Professional Learning Portal rather than attending the entire series of learning events again.
